King of the Dean is Historic Winner - 2008 Wyedean Forest Rally

THREE times
Wyedean winner Graham Elsmore rolled back the years when he teamed up with his
old co-driver Stuart Harrold to compete on the 2008 Get Connected Carless Fuels
Wyedean Forest Rally, in the Hydrex backed Escort RS1800, Graham’s return had
generated so much interest and publicity, not only in the Forest of Dean but
Nationwide as people turned out to watch ’The King of the Dean’.

The event held in glorious weather
consisted of seven special stages in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley with
rally HQ in the spacious Chepstow Racecourse, Graham had hired the Group 4
Escort from his old friend and rival Terry Brown. After finding Chepstow Park
somewhat on the rough side even though they were only seeded at car 36, the old
partnership soon settled into the event with Graham’s ’ever-sideways’ style
entertaining the thousands of spectators lining the route, many of whom had
just come to see Graham’s return. The only small problem they incurred all day
was a half spin in Serridge and their times dramatically improved as the day
wore on, finally bringing the Hydrex Escort RS1800 home 32nd overall and
winning the Historic category convincingly. A very happy Graham said at the
finish:-

"I have had a wonderful day, and I
am sure Stuart has as well. It has been great to relive old memories, but I
wish the Forestry Commission hadn’t cut down so many trees in the last 30
years, as I didn’t recognise some of the stages that well. A massive thank you
to Hydrex for allowing me the opportunity to compete once more, and congratulations
to the Forest of Dean Motor Club for a superb event. Thanks go to all the
people who came out to support myself and Stuart."
